Trade mission update

Reports from Spain are that the mayor of Portland showed up at Iberdrola headquarters in Bilbao this morning, only to find out that the people he needs to talk to are in Valencia. He then adjourned to an undisclosed location for some private business.

I propose we send Sam on a worldwide fact-finding tour for the next, oh, two years or so. Without laptop, cell, blackberry or other electronic communication device.

He can start in Bangkok, where the pedophiles have carte blanche. Who knows, he might want to stay there.

And such a trip might actually save taxpayer money in the long run. As opposed to his wildly expensive, totally ineffective, utterly unpopular projects here. I mean, not even His Honor could spend tens of millions on private, personal "entertainment," could he?

But the new PDC head got a trip out of the deal. Maybe he wanted to see the new museum in Bilbao. Valencia is a much nicer place this time of year than Bilbao, so maybe they will just head over there for a few days as well. And why not go down to Malaga too? The action there might be more to HIZ honor's liking.
Money no object...after all it is just taxpayer $$$.

Snards,
The joke is on all of us. Has been for years, hasn't it? Insiders benefiting, while the rest of us pay more and more for less and less. Guess I am sounding like a past stuck record player. I think it is time to get out of that rut, and insist on integrity and transparency on projects and public process.
